Playing Tricks on the oneen,

A post on the royal yacht-a happy
episode of two years-was held by Hobart
Pasha for time. He tells in his rem
iniscences how the prince consort
would often good naturally smoke his
cigar with the officers, and adds:
Apropos of smoking cannot refrain
from mentioning little incident that
happened on board the Victoria and AL
bert that /, for one, shall never forget.
Her gracious majesty never approved of
smoking, and it was only through the
kind consideration of the prince consort
that we were allowed to indulge in an
occasional cigar in the COW house. The
COW house was little place fitted up for
two pretty, small alderney COWS, kept
specially for supplying milk and butter
for the royal table. Her majesty was
very fond of these animals, and had the
habit OF visiting them every day, and the
young princes used to be held up to look
in at the window, out Of which there
was room for the favored COWS to stretch
their heads.
One evening we were smoking as
usual, when I espied pot Of blue paint
ON the deck of the COW house, with, as
bad luck would have it, brush in the
pot ! cannot say what induced me, but
deliberately took the brush and painted
the tips of the noses and the horns of
both animals pretty light blue. Hay-
ing done this, I thought no more Of the
matter. The next morning her majesty
